Welcome to the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

Modern society continues to become more dependent on technology. Personal and portable
technologies allow people to be more connected. Homes become smarter as the number
of connected devices grows. The manufacturing process becomes progressively more
sophisticated as the technical requirements increase. To meet these challenges,
industry must have access to students who not only have a strong foundation in their
discipline but also can apply this knowledge to solve real problems.

The focus of the new WKU School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is to educate
students to be leaders in a changing technical landscape, to provide solutions to
the problems facing the modern high tech society, and to provide a workforce to support
the technological complexity of industry.

In order to provide students with the necessary skills, the programs in the School
of Engineering and Applied Sciences are project-based which means that students have
opportunities to engage in project activities throughout the curricula to support
design, development, implementation, and troubleshooting.

SEAS consists of three former departments in the Ogden College of Sciences and Engineering;
Architectural and Manufacturing Sciences, Computer Sciences and Engineering Departments.

The Architectural and Manufacturing Sciences Bachelor of Science programs of Architectural
Sciences, Construction Management, Manufacturing Engineering Technology (previously
known as Advanced Manufacturing), Technology Management and the Master's of Science
in Engineering Technology Management are accredited by the Association of Technology,
Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE).
